what must be subtracted from (-3)/5 so as to get 13/45

Ankush Jain · Accepted Answer

Let x be subtracted from $\frac{- 3}{5}$ to get $\frac{13}{45}$ .

$\Rightarrow \frac{- 3}{5} - x = \frac{13}{45} \Rightarrow - x = \frac{13}{45} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{13 + 27}{45} = \frac{40}{45} \Rightarrow x = \frac{- 40}{45} = \frac{- 8}{9}$
